So its time for a motor swap for the white car, the clutch went out so it seems only obvious to swap it! car in question is an 89 325i 5spd. the donor car is a complete e34 89 535i 5speed. from what i've read so far i have pretty ideal conditions just trying to make a complete list before teardown.
So engine, tranny and engine harness from the 535i...
an e28 535i radiator?
use the front half of the e34 driveshaft with the rear of my e30 shaft?
joe funk engine mounts
stock e30 engine and tranny rubber mounts?
I figure i will use the expansion tank from the donor e34 because that seems easiest. which radiator hoses? i think funk said 88 635?
The e34 downpipes will slide over the current pipes?
planning on a quick turn around for this swap, seems like a pretty straight forward one.
Thanks for your help guys, i tried to research as much as i could, just looking for confirmation on a few things.
